I've never had a problem with fuzzy fonts...

except when I've had too many.

Re: Windows 10’s “April 2018 Update.”

One problem I have encountered, but on an old laptop only, is very slow boot-up time. The possible reasons for this are many and various - I have tried several options but none has made any improvement .....

Very interesting.

I have disabled most startup items and hope to see some improvement in speed. Thanks.

Now back to your vacuuming!

Re: Windows 10’s “April 2018 Update.”

I have just downloaded the latest Windows Update. My system is now running Windows 10 version 1803.

It took a long time, admittedly, but at least Microsoft warned me that it would!

This seems to be the latest version and, hopefully, I might find some improvements. We shall see.

Unfortunately, nothing comes without consequences; I have learnt that much using Windows!

The first I have noticed is that my favourite on-screen game - Spider Solitaire - has disappeared, to be replaced by an inferior Windows 10 version. Why? Doesn't Microsoft like us making our own choices? Silly question!

The trouble is that I can't remember which Spider Solitaire it was that I had downloaded some time ago, and I can't find it in Downloads or anywhere else on my computer.

Having racked my brains (such as they are) and done a bit of Googling (ooh, Matron!), I found the one I recognised:

https://winaero.com/blog/windows-7-g...eators-update/

That's the one I had, and now have once more.

I suppose that Microsoft are now very much against people using anything earlier than Windows 10. I shall certainly bookmark this web site in case of future tamperings by Microsoft and I need to obtain it again.
